Perhaps I need to go check out the transmission threads, but isn't the OEM fluid good for the life of the car? Just because they put a fill and drain port on the transmission (to me) doesn't mean it should be changed regularly/ever. Flushing a transmission sounds like trouble waiting to happen (clogging check-valves with metal bits that wouldn't normally make their way to check-valves without being flushed into that location). I know dealers try to scare customers into doing this unnecessary change, but I haven't seen this in any owners manuals or recommended by the manufacturer.


Just be honest with the Subie dealer. That tends to grant mutual respect moving forward.
